It is revealed that some people are trying to abduct a member of the Royal Family but Jack intervenes, killing one of them and capturing the other, and stops the plan in its tracks. Afterwards, he learns that they're Irish revolutionaries and the two men are brothers. During his court hearing the one that's still alive vows to get back at Jack but is sentenced and that seems to be the end of it. However, whilst the man is being transported, he is broken out. Jack learns of this but doesn't think there's anything to worry about. But, when he is at the Naval Academy someone tries to kill him. He learns that they are also going after his family and so he rushes to find them, safe but having also been the victims of a failed assassination. That's when Jack decides to rejoin the CIA, and they try to find the man before he makes another attempt. Written by rcs0411@yahoo.com Did You Know?

Trivia Early in the film, when Ryan gives a lecture at the Royal Naval Academy in London, he tells the audience, "In this volatile climate, we can only speculate on the future of Soviet Fleet development." In the foreground, a blueprint of the Soviet submarine "Red October" appears on a computer screen, establishing Ryan's link to The Hunt for Red October (1990).

Harrison Ford's 7 Greatest Roles Harrison Ford's 7 Greatest Roles by Zach Seemayer 6:58 PM PDT, July 13, 2014 Photo: Legendary actor Harrison Ford Turns 72 today, and in his impressive career he has been responsible for developing two of the most iconic movie characters in American pop culture.

To celebrate the man who created so many characters we all desperate wished we could be growing up – and honestly still kind of wish we could be – we take a celebratory look at Harrison's seven greatest roles. #7. Dr. Richard Kimble – The Fugitive Ford plays a man wrongly convicted of his wife's murder who – due to random circumstance – escapes from custody in a frantic effort to find the real killer and clear his name. All the while, he's hunted down by US Marshall Tommy Lee Jones, which would be terrifying for anyone. Best Quote: "When I came home, there was a man in my house. I fought with this man. He had a mechanical arm. You find this man. You find this man." #6. Bob Falfa – American Graffiti One of the first real roles for Ford, Star Wars helmer George Lucas directed this 1973 throw-back to the early-60s cruising culture that saw high school kids and college students – along with cocky, arrogant gear heads – driving around down in their supped-up cars looking to meet girls and drag race. Ford plays Bob Falfa, one of those arrogant gear heads, and he's simply awesome to watch.

Best Quote: "Hey you're supposed to be the fastest thing in the Valley man, but that can't be your car. It must be your mama's car! I'm sorta embarrassed to be this close to ya!" #5. President James Marshall – Air Force One In this action thriller, Ford plays a US President who is on Air Force One when it gets taken over by Gary Oldman as a Russian terrorist. Ford must fight his way through a whole group of mercenaries in order to save himself, his staff, his family. Best Quote: "Get off my plane!" #4. Jack Ryan – Patriot Games and Clear And Present Danger Harrison Ford takes up the mantle of Jack Ryan, a character created by Tom Clancy and played in other films by Alec Baldwin, Chris Pine and even Ben Affleck, but no one nailed it like Harrison Ford. In both films, be plays a CIA agent and analyst who has to foil various terrorist plots. Best Quote: "I'm sorry, Mr. President, I don't dance." (It's much cooler in context. Watch Clear And Present Danger.) #3. Indiana Jones – Indiana Jones Franchise He's the coolest guy in the room, all the time.

He's a dashing Archeology professor that his students (awkwardly) love, while at the same time he's a daring adventurer exploring new worlds. Who cares if he's a cold-blooded murderer and thief who accidentally helped the Nazis find the arc? He's awesome, damn it, and that's all our child-brains could understand when we first saw and fell in love with his character. Best Quote: "Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?" #2. Han Solo – Star Wars Episodes IV-VI Don't pretend like you need to be told who Han Solo is. Don't even play that game. You know you've always wanted to be a space smuggler and intergalactic gunslinger. You know you've thought, more than once, about buying a black vest and wide-colored white shirt. Best Quote: "I know." (When Leia says she's loves him. The line was improvised, too.) #1. Rick Deckard – Blade Runner While not quite as famous as Han Solo or Indiana Jones, Ford's character in the bleak 1982 sci-fi classic Blade Runner is easily his best, and his best performance as well.

He plays a cop whose job is to hunt down and kill 'replicatants', or robots that look identical to humans. It's an examination of what makes up human and leaves you with a chilled, haunted feeling. Ford has to use a lot of energy just to be subtle and he should have won an Oscar for the role, or at least been nominated. Best Quote: "Replicants are like any other machine, they're either a benefit or a hazard. If they're a benefit it's not my problem."

) Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1 DVD Release Date: October 21, 1998 Run Time: 141 minutes (I wrote this for the original, out of stock version) Clear and Present Danger (1994 film) The third film in the Jack Ryan series (and the last one to star Harrison Ford) deals with America's war on drugs and also the abuse of power in high places. As in Clancy's original novel, the plot hinges on one crucial question: how far can a President go to achieve a laudable goal, even if the means cross moral, legal and international boundaries? As in the novel of the same name, the interception of an American-flagged yacht in the Caribbean results in the arrest of two Colombian "sicarios" (hit men) who have murdered the American owner (along with his entire family). The resulting FBI-CIA investigation reveals that Peter Hardin, the late yacht owner and personal friend of the U.S. President (Donald Moffat), had extensive ties to the Cali drug cartel. Hardin, as Jack Ryan (Ford) explains, had been skimming millions from his "partners," thus sealing his fate.

Although Ryan is aware that the President is understandably upset that his late friend was a money launderer for the drug lords, he is not aware that the National Security Advisor, Admiral James Cutter (Harris Yulin) and his CIA colleague Bob Ritter (Henry Czerny) have been given off-the-record orders to do "something about the drugs pouring into the country." When the President declares to Cutter that the drug cartels pose a "clear and present danger" to the United States, the somewhat slimy admiral and Ritter unleash several covert operations within the sovereign nation of Colombia.

Members Sign In Jack Ryan: when four stars play one character By Mark Feeney Globe Staff January 11, 2014 The movies exist through repetition, courtesy of the miraculous visual formula that is 24 frames per second. Yet the formula is slightly more complicated in execution. It’s repetition, yes, but with variation. No two frames are identical. The same principle of repetition with variation applies to several enduringly popular movie heroes. The character repeats, the performers vary. Dozens of actors have played Sherlock Holmes.

A half dozen have played James Bond (and that’s not counting the multiple “Bonds” in the 1967 spoof “Casino Royale”). Another half dozen have played Philip Marlowe. Advertisement Repetition with variation applies to superheroes as well as detectives and secret agents. Is Christian Bale your preferred Batman? Michael Keaton? Probably not Val Kilmer or George Clooney. Or Ben Affleck, in the forthcoming “Batman vs. Superman” — and, of course, several actors have played Superman, too. Paramount Pictures Harrison Ford in “Patriot Games.” What brings all this to mind is “Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit,” which opens Friday. Chris Pine plays a young version of the title character. It’s the fifth film outing for the namesake CIA hero of novelist Tom Clancy, who died last October. Pine follows Alec Baldwin (“The Hunt for Red October,” 1990), Harrison Ford (“Patriot Games,” 1992, and “Clear and Present Danger,” 1994), and Affleck (“The Sum of All Fears,” 2002).

Pine is best known for playing Kirk, in the two most recent “Star Trek” movies — hello, William Shatner (speaking of character/actor switcheroos). If one thing characterizes Pine as an actor, it’s a certain swagger. Maybe he’ll be great in “Jack Ryan.” It has to be said, though, Ryan is not a swaggery guy.

Sign up for more newsletters here Pine, Baldwin, Ford, and Affleck: They sound like a law firm. Not that any of the name partners would be mistaken for each other. That four such different actors can portray Ryan suggests his essential blandness. Onscreen, you might say, Jack exhibits a split impersonality. Impersonality isn’t necessarily a shortcoming. Jack is bland and colorless for two reasons. First, Clancy’s literary abilities (and they do exist) don’t exactly extend to characterization. Reading Clancy’s novels for character development is like drinking Red Bull for the bouquet.

Second, Clancy was smart enough to realize that characterization was not what his books (or the movies made from them) are about. They’re about plotting and know-how and, what’s related to know-how but not quite the same thing, the sense they communicate of being on the inside. Emotion and character are about a very different kind of inside from the sort found at Langley. Bruce McBroom Alec Baldwin in “The Hunt for Red October.” Mock Clancy, if you will, but Thomas Pynchon, no less, has a reference to one of his characters in “Bleeding Edge,” Pynchon’s latest novel. Granted, the character isn’t Jack (it’s Marine extraordinaire Ding Chavez), but still. Advertisement The benefit of Jack’s colorlessness is that he doesn’t get in the way. He doesn’t drive the plot so much as hold it together. He’s not a superhero. He’s a super-bureaucrat. “You are such a Boy Scout!” the deputy CIA director (Henry Czerny), taunts Ford in “Clear and Present Danger.” The deputy director is a bad guy, an Ollie North-type zealot. But he’s right.

Jack may not wear a deerstalker cap or cowl. His sartorial trademark is the imaginary merit badges covering his suit. Watching “Hunt for Red October” now is a bit startling. Baldwin is that rare actor who looks better fatter. He appears a bit undernourished as Jack, with neither literal nor figurative heft. Honestly, Baldwin needs some more Jack Donaghy to pull off being Jack Ryan. He’s also overmatched. Sean Connery’s Soviet submarine commander is the real star of the show. Baldwin manages to get back at him. In one scene, he does a nifty Connery imitation. There’s a problem with that, though. Jack isn’t supposed to be funny! Humorlessness is a form of professionalism for Clancy. It’s part of Jack’s heroic-apparatchik style. So depending on how you look at it, Ford is either an ideal Jack — or the worst possible casting. Other than that slightly snaggly smile, Ford’s as stiff and conventional as Jack is.

Unfortunately, take away Ford’s smile and any opportunity to be funny (isn’t Han Solo’s “I know,” the single best moment in the “Star Wars” movies?), and he’s duller than a plain kruller. Poor long-suffering Anne Archer, as Jack’s wife, makes two. Those full, full lips of hers are locked in a perpetual pout. It’ll be interesting to see in the new movie what Keira Knightley does with the role. Let’s hope for a little Elizabeth Swann-style feistiness. Mark Fellman/ap Ben Affleck (right) in “The Sum of All Fears.” The other problem with Ford is that he’s a little too old. Affleck goes to the other extreme. Yes, “Sum of All Fears” is a reset. Even so, Affleck acts younger than his years. He even seems . . . callow. Jack is many things, but callow isn’t one of them. Ryan gives off the unmistakable sense of being one of those people who came out of the womb already grown up. “What is this, ‘The Paper Chase’?” a mildly incredulous CIA director (Morgan Freeman) says upon meeting Affleck’s Jack.

Even worse, he’s not just young and callow — he’s also (least Jack-like of all) horny. Affleck comes across as a complete lightweight. It’s hard to imagine what Bridget Moynahan, as Jack’s future wife, sees in him (beyond the obvious boy-toy properties), let alone what Freeman does. “Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit” offers a further twist (presumably unintended) to the casting issue. Playing Jack’s mentor in the film is Kevin Costner. Almost 25 years ago, the actor who was first offered the part in “Hunt for Red October” was, yes, Costner. He chose to make “Dances With Wolves” instead. Who can blame him: Why join the CIA when you can join the Sioux? Mark Feeney can be reached at mfeeney@globe.com . Loading comments... Harrison Ford - Film Actor - Biography.com Harrison Ford Harrison Ford is one of Hollywood's leading men, with an acting career that has spanned nearly 40 years and included iconic roles such as Indiana Jones and Han Solo.

IN THESE GROUPS Famous Ripon College Alumni quotes “I was terrified to get up in front of people, but I really enjoyed the storytelling part."[On his first drama course, taken at Ripon College.]” Harrison Ford Harrison Ford - Early Years (TV-14; 2:02) Watch a short video about the early years of actor Harrison Ford. Synopsis Born on July 13, 1942, in Chicago, Illinois, Harrison Ford struggled for years as an actor before George Lucas cast him in 1973's American Graffiti. Ford then hit superstardom as Han Solo in the first three Star Wars films and as Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark and its three sequels, which were all monster successes. He has had leading roles in numerous Hollywood films such as Blade Runner, Witness, Working Girl, Patriot Games, The Fugitive and 42, among many others. In 2015 he returned to his Han Solo role in a big way with Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens.

Early Life Born on July 13, 1942 in Chicago, Illinois, actor Harrison Ford has starred in some of Hollywood's biggest films, including Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark. He grew up in Des Plaines, a suburb of Chicago, as the son of an advertising executive and a stay-at-home mother. As a child, Ford was targeted by bullies. He went to Maine Township High School where he was involved in the social sciences and model train clubs, according to People magazine. After graduating in 1960, Ford studied English and philosophy at Ripon College in Wisconsin. There, he discovered an interest in performing nearly by accident. Ford signed up for a drama course, hoping for an easy good grade. "I was terrified to get up in front of people, but I really enjoyed the storytelling part," he explained to People. Ford wasn't the best student in college, and he ended up leaving before completing his degree. With his future wife, Mary Marquardt, he made his way to Hollywood in the mid-1960s. Ford first landed a deal with Columbia Pictures as a contract player, earning $150 a week. He then ended up at Universal.

In 1966, Ford made his film debut in a bit part in Dead Heat on a Merry-Go-Round. Studio executives were less than impressed. One studio official said, "You'll never make it in this business," Ford told the Hollywood Reporter. Breakthrough Films: 'Star Wars' and 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' Frustrated with his lack of success as an actor, Ford became a carpenter to supplement his income. George Lucas gave him his first important film role in his 1973 drama American Graffiti, but his career failed to progress much. He worked for Francis Ford Coppola as both a carpenter and an actor with small roles in The Conversation (1974) and Apocalypse Now (1979). In 1977, Ford collaborated with Lucas again for his breakthrough role as Han Solo in Star Wars. His portrayal of the brash but likable rogue in this science-fiction classic helped raise his profile in Hollywood. The film's two sequels, The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983), helped make him a star.

Around this time, Ford brought another of his legendary film characters to the big screen. He played resourceful, swashbuckling archaeologist Indiana Jones in 1981's Raiders of the Lost Ark, directed by Steven Spielberg . The action adventure tale, written in part by Lucas, proved to be a huge hit. It spawned several sequels, including Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989). Around the time of the first Indiana Jones installment, Ford also starred as the title character in Blade Runner (1982), a shadowy science-fiction outing directed by Ridley Scott that would become a cult classic. Top Movie Star Ford enhanced his reputation as a dramatic actor with several significant roles in the mid-1980s. He received an Academy Award nomination for his work in 1985's Witness, a crime drama co-starring Kelly McGillis and directed by Peter Weir. The following year, Ford reteamed with Weir to play an offbeat inventor in The Mosquito Coast, with River Phoenix and Helen Mirren .

While the project was a commercial disappointment, the film allowed Ford to tackle an unusual and sometimes unlikable character. In 1988, he showed his lighter side in the popular romantic comedy Working Girl, with Melanie Griffith and Sigourney Weaver . Returning to the role of action hero, Ford starred in 1992's Patriot Games as CIA agent Jack Ryan, the protagonist from the bestselling novels by Tom Clancy . Audiences loved him in the role, which he reprised in 1994's Clear and Present Danger. By this time, Ford had become one of Hollywood's most bankable stars. He earned $20 million per film with 15 percent of the film's gross take at the box office at his peak. After years of blockbuster success, Ford stumbled through a few missteps in the mid-to-late 1990s. He starred in the disappointing remake of the 1954 dramatic comedy Sabrina with Julia Ormand and Greg Kinnear . Co-starring with Brad Pitt , Ford saw his 1997 crime thriller The Devil's Own fall flat.

But he proved that his box office prowess had not faded with his turn as president of the United States in the hit action thriller Air Force One that same year. Range of Projects In early 2000s, Ford took on fewer movie roles. The parts he did play had mixed results. He partnered with Josh Hartnett for 2003's Hollywood Homicide, a lighthearted crime drama that received a tepid reception from moviegoers. In 2006, his thriller Firewall came and went with little notice. Ford then returned to form with one of the franchises that made him famous in 2008. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Crystal Skull reached the top spot at the box office its opening weekend, going on to earn more than $786 million worldwide. Ford took on an unusual form of action film in 2010 with Cowboys & Aliens, facing off against Daniel Craig . That same year, his comedy Morning Glory with Rachel McAdams and Diane Keaton fared well at the box office. In 2013, he showed his dramatic talents in 42, a film about the life of African-American baseball legend Jackie Robinson .

Ford plays Branch Rickey , the baseball executive who signed Robinson to the baseball's major leagues. He also appeared in the science-fiction adventure Ender's Game and the thriller Paranoia, both in 2013. In late April 2014, Ford delighted film fans everywhere with the news that he would appear in Star Wars: Episode VII, the latest installment in the long-running popular series. The cast also includes his earlier Star Wars co-stars Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill . The film, directed by J.J. Abrams , opened in the U.S. on December 18, 2015 and broke an array of box office records, earning more than $247 million domestically in its opening weekend. Personal Life Harrison Ford was married to his college girlfriend Mary Marquardt from 1964 to 1979. The couple have two sons together. He married screenwriter Melissa Mathison in 1983. They met during the making of 1979's Apocalypse Now. They had two children together before separating in 2001 and finalizing their divorce in 2004.

Ford has been romantically involved with actress Calista Flockhart since 2002. The couple married in 2010. A longtime pilot, Ford made headlines in March 2015 when he was involved in a plane crash. He was forced to make a crash landing on a golf course in Venice, California, after experiencing engine trouble. He had run into problems with his vintage aircraft shortly after taking off from California's Santa Monica Airport on March 5. According to the New York Daily News, Ford broke his ankle and pelvis in the crash, with both injuries requiring surgery. Fact Check We strive for accuracy and fairness.

See more » Frequently Asked Questions Clancy's Best Movie Outing to Date 18 September 2002 | by OttoVonB (Switzerland) – See all my reviews Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan has had an odd time at the movies. So far 3 actors and as many directors have had a go at him, with varying degrees of success. Hunt for Red October might come up in conversations more often, but it's hard to get past the silliness of Sean Connery pretending to be Russian (and speaking worse Russian than Baldwin's American character). Clear and Present Danger is where your money belongs. One of Clancy's best Ryan efforts in print, this massive door-stop of a book was condensed by veteran scribes Steven Zallian and John Milius - how's that for a screen writing combo?

- into a script that retains a lot of the original's moral complexity while making smart concessions to the blockbuster format. For a blockbuster is what you have before you, and one of the smartest ones out there, where art and commerce were combined in perfect harmony. As Ryan 2.0, Harrison Ford is perfect in the lead, and it's hard to believe at times, that Clancy didn't have him in mind when creating the character. With a narrative this fragmented, it is essential that the supporting roles be pitch perfect and across the board everyone does first-rate work, with special mention to Willem Dafoe as John Clarke and Donald Moffat at a devious commander in chief. Philip Noyce builds on his Ryan-debut Patriot Games and shows he is equally at ease with the quiet parts and the loud ones, particularly an RPG-powered car ambush centerpiece. The action beats are used sparingly but with brilliant precision. All in all, this is smart, tight, believable and expertly executed. It is that rare brainy "action" film that will involve you and have you hanging on the edge of your seat. 48 of 56 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you?

Yes View All Critic Reviews (32) Audience Reviews for Patriot Games Of all the Tom Clancy adaptations, Patriot Games has got to be one of my personal favorites. The films story, for me has to be the best idea that Clancy had written on paper. The IRA seeks to assassinate a member of the Royal Family, and Jack Ryan stops the assassination attempt and in the midst kills the brother of the leader of the hit squad, Sean Miller. Sean Miller will stop at nothing to kill Jack Ryan and his family, and once he has broken out of police custody, he sets out to do just that. Patriot Games is a a solid, pulse pounding action thriller that doesn't seem too out of style. Sure looking back now, we can see that the political atmosphere has changed drastically, and that the IRA isn't really what it used to be. Despite the fact that times have changed, and the worlds focus is elsewhere, and I say this because when this film was released, the IRA were at the top of their game and still a threat to Britain. Getting back to the film, This is a top notch film that Clancy fans will relish and surely enjoy.

Sean Bean's portrayal of the villain Sean Miller is terrifying, and diabolical, and for me, its one of his best performances of his career. Bean always knows how to play a villain well, and Patriot Games proves it. Patriot Games is a solid film that still holds up to this day. This is a film that very thrilling and action packed and remains one of the best adaptations of a Tom Clancy Novel. A good story, good acting and non stop thrills makes this essential viewing for Tom Clancy fans. Alex roy Super Reviewer Harrison Ford's first Jack Ryan movie is a convincing action thriller. While some parts feel a bit simplified, probably even more so when compared to the novel, the film still flows perfectly and has you on the edge of your seat, especially during the really exciting showdown. One might say with a cast of names like this nothing can go wrong but the good direction should get its credits as well. Also: There's just something really satisfying about seeing Harrison Ford all pissed and ready to strike back in bloody revenge. Jens S.
